this year I stopped neglecting my health. I donβt think itβs a coincidence @beehiiv just had its best quarter in history
I now realize that I'd been burnt out for most of the past 5 years:
> barely sleeping
> couldn't focus
> persistent anxiety
so I finally made some changes:
> cut coffee entirely
> meditate every morning
> no phone for first hour of my day
> read every night before bed
> non-negotiable 8 hours of sleep
today I feel better than ever before
which means I can think more clearly, focus for longer, manage stress better, and generally bring the best version of myself to work every day
the past 8 months at beehiiv reflect it:
> dropped 10 new products at Winter Release Event
> hit $30M ARR (now adding ~$1.5M ARR every month)
> launched native podcast hosting and monetization
> gearing up for biggest day in @beehiiv history on July 16th
prioritizing my health has been the best investment I've ever made in the company π

Should have called the design segment "complainers corner" for all you people whining about liquid glass

I have a clear set of requirements to judge a new app against when I try it out.
This has helped save me time and limits how often I actually switch apps, despite it still feeling like it is too often.
This week's newsletter goes through that and some of the things I dislike about the apps I've tried. ππ»

As a tech reviewer you'd think I'd have drawers full of the latest Apple products.
I've spent a boat load of money on Apple gear over the years.
Lately though? I'm upgrading less. The stuff I've actually kept isn't even the most expensive in the range.
I tallied up the full ecosystem, wish I didn't see that dollar figure, but have an Apple Ecosystem that powers a YouTube channel, newsletter, podcast and everything else in my life.

"I became a YouTuber to get rich" - no one ever
I enjoy making videos and it's not because of the money.
I've made 6 videos about the iPad generating $261 in adsense revenue.
I paid $1171.08 for the 11" M4 iPad Pro, Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro.
This is why I don't buy things for the sole purpose of making a video about them.
Everything that I buy and review I actually use.

Most people just want their tech to work.
No need for the latest or most expensive gear.
But what does a sensible Apple Ecosystem look like these days?
See for yourself ππ»

I hear a lot of complaints about Apple being expensive.
Itβs getting much easier to get into the ecosystem at a reasonable price point!
Check out my picks here:

It's about to be a whirlwind of a weekend!
I've been quiet this week for good reason.
3 new videos going live! One Fri, Sat and Sun.
Three different versions of the Apple Ecosystem at three VERY different price points.
I can't believe I had to finally add up how much money in Apple products I have in my house...

Now that I have an FX3 do we think I will miss the FX30 if I sell it?
